How to Start a Fire With a Water Bottle

If you find yourself in a difficult situation; it could be a Zombie Apocalypse or any other circumstances where you have minimal resources for survival; this is a technique that could end up saving your life. This method of making fire shared by Grant Thompson is so simple that it evens sound stupid when you think about it.

“Create fire with a water bottle? What!? That is impossible” says the skeptic, but don’t be one yourself. Watch this video to figure out how to create fire by using a clear water bottle, paper and sunlight. Here’s how this fire-making method works:

The method works because to make fire, these three elements are required: fuel, heat, and oxygen. And in the video you just watched paper is the fuel, heat comes from the refracted sunlight beamed onto the paper, and oxygen, well that is pretty much everywhere around us.

Fire is an essential element in our daily lives—we cook our food with it, it power up machines and other industrial equipment, and in between other things it warms us up during winter. Nonetheless, it seems that if worse comes to worst, and we find ourselves in dire straits, very few of us will actually know how to create fire.

Well, it doesn’t have to be this way thanks to this technique, so always carry a water bottle and some paper wherever you go and share this with all your friends and family. It may come in handy if you happen to run out of matchsticks. If you like this, be sure to subscribe to Thompson’s the King of Random channel.
